The Yoga Study and Training Programme at the centre was established by Paul Harvey and reflects the teachings of TKV Desikachar and his father and teacher the eminent T Krishnamacharya as taught to Paul through personal lessons in India with his teacher over 23 years. The aim at cYs is the teaching of Yoga through classes, lessons, workshops and teacher training respecting the spirit of TKV Desikachar's teaching. Teaching Yoga from this perspective respects differences in ages, gender, mental and physical health, culture, religion, philosophy, occupation and interest along with the current situation of the person. |

Description:![]() |
Kundalini Yoga is much more than a system of physical exercise; it's a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness. It's safe, comprehensive, and simple. It promotes physical health, stimulates the mind's potential, and touches one's innermost being at the heart centre. An integration of all aspects of Yoga is utilized, namely asana (posture), meditation, pranayam (breathwork), mantra (voice vibration), mudra (hand posture) and bandha (locks). It is this synthesis that is the secret to its magical ability to connect with the real you. KUNDALINI YOGA IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPERIENCED, NO WORDS CAN REPLACE IT Open classes, every Monday, 6.00p.m at the Jack Brimble Centre, St Werburghs Rd - All most welcome! Prepare for life with an open heart and clear mind. |

| Instructor: | James Reeves |
| Yoga Style: | Sivananda |
| Description: | Oxford-based Bliss Divine Yoga is all about getting back in touch with your body. Through the practice of Asana (steady pose), Pranayama (the breath) and working with awareness (meditation), the yogi gains access to a wealth of benefits.
So, what is Yoga? On its most surface level, yoga is a challenging, fun discipline that keeps the body fit. It regulates the internal organs and balances circulatory, respiratory and hormonal systems. Yoga alleviates stress, aids in the healing of physical injuries and illnesses and helps us reclaim our general sense of well-being.
The practice works through the body to steady the mind, offering a real and lasting peace. Increased flexibility supports posture and health. Through the asana and pranayama work, the body is energetically realigned, helping to fight off illness and support well-being. The style of yoga taught by Bliss Divine is Hatha, with the core of the class being rooted in Sivananda yoga. The class includes elements of Vinyasa (flow), precision, and a good balance of Ha (sun, or energetic) and Tha (moon, or restive/restorative) poses. The word Hatha translates to Sun & Moon, and Yoga means Union. One interpretation of this is that we are working with the practice to unite the Sun (Ha) elements of activity and dynamism with the Moon (Tha) elements of stillness, surrender and rejuvenation. |
